Animals and Pets

Council provides an animal control service which incorporates live stock management and dog control. Our service covers the registration of dogs, impoundment of stray dogs, investigation of nuisance dogs and dog attacks as well as the removal of livestock from our roads.

All dog owners residing and visiting the West Tamar municipal area must abide by the Dog Contral Act 2000 (the Act) and associated regulations and policies. More information can be found in Council's Dog Management Policy 2015 in the associated pages. Alternatively our Municipal Inspectors can be contacted at our Riverside office.
